In my mind the US is the last great European power. Due to their size, natural resources and geographical isolation they have managed to build a strong safe secure homefront... something the other European nations could not.
But they do share the same acquisitive, domineering, imperialist attitude as the nations of Europe that they left. Yes, they can do good things for the world, but so did the European powers.
I think there was a time in the early days of the US where it might have turned out differently but they didn't choose that path.
This is not a bash at all. Simply the way I see the evolution of the USA.
